“… a comprehensive reference for the critically-important area of applicant/employee background checking/verification in this era of privacy protection and legal liability for bad hiring decisions. The chapters on using proper applications and employment history, by themselves, more than justify purchasing this book and using it to guide during every hiring decision.”
